Dickens, Charles

A Christmas Carol is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling festive story of them all. In these pages we meet Ebenezer Scrooge, whose name is synonymous with greed and parsimony: 'Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart'. This attitude is soon challenged when th...

Kafka, Franz

Like George Orwell, Franz Kafka has given his name to a world of nightmare, but in Kafka's world, it is never completely clear just what the nightmare is. The Trial, where the rules are hidden from even the highest officials, and if there is any help to be had, it will come from unexpected sources, is a chilling, blackly amusing tale that maintains, to the very end, a relentles...

Kafka, Franz

Existe en estos textos, decía Kafka, «una relación manifiesta y aún más una secreta, a cuya expresión, mediante su reunión en un libro titulado, por ejemplo, Los hijos, no querrí...

Los aforismos y las imaginaciones que Franz Kafka elaboró en más de cien papelitos numerados durante una estancia de ocho meses en el pueblo bohemio de Zürau se cuentan entre sus textos más herméticos. En ellos, Kafka se ocupa de cuestiones filosóficas clásicas—la relación entre la verdad y la mentira, el bien y el mal, el mundo espiritual y el mundo sensible—, pero las aborda ...
